Government and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety directives have led to a reduction in flights beginning November 7, 2025, to protect people and property from potential accidents. The FAA’s Emergency Order Establishing Limitations on the Use of Navigable Airspace explains that the restrictions are necessary “to ensure the safety of aircraft” and “[t]o maintain the highest standards of safety” in the National Airspace System. For companies whose operations or revenues are affected, these measures may give rise to recoveries under general liability and property insurance policies.

On October 20, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a significant decision clarifying that an insurer’s duty to defend under Texas law extends to a contractually mandated alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceeding.[i] The Fifth Circuit reversed a magistrate judge’s dismissal of BPX Production Co.’s (BPX) coverage claims, holding that an ADR proceeding triggers an insurer’s duty to defend and indemnify under a commercial general liability (CGL) policy—thus rejecting the insurer’s argument that a “suit” was required.  Further, the Fifth Circuit held that an insurer’s conduct can waive conditions to coverage. This decision provides important guidance for corporate policyholders navigating insurance disputes involving an ADR proceeding, policy defenses asserted by insurers, and the assignment of insurance rights to maximize an insurance recovery in the circumstance of a bankruptcy.
